I strongly discourage you to do that. Nobody makes this, so there's no module for that. There's no need of such account separation (it's an old accountant approach). Here in Spain I had to fight a lot to convince old-style accountants, but they don't really need it.

It is NOT bad or good, not old or new (that's statement is ridiculous BTW).

That you "can" have them separated at an analityc level YES that's ansollutly true "you can" but it not the _only new fancy way_ to achieve that, your legal staments can require such separation at Ledger Level and that's fine (and that's what accountants and auditors see they do not go per transaction or per report) Your General Ledger MUST be transparent in some cases and that's "ok".

You can have BIG partners which you must control at ledger level and generic ones which can be generically sent to an account and use (i.e.) aanlytics for other divisions.

Which example and use case I am talking about?.

Those approaches where Payables and Receivables are huge and middle and long term because with that you can even at partner level redirect your payables/receiveables per partner name.

I know a lot of companies that use this on this way (even my biggest customer works on that way 500 customers avery single one with an account, obviously be a customer there brings some extra normal process on that company).

And it is not a bad practice it is very common practice have an account per partner and other separate them on General Ledger Level.

What I do not recommend is create one per 100% percent of partners it must be a little more on-demmand creation, because you will end with tons of blank accounts (it happen to us).

The proper way is have a button that on demand create the account and then you can set some partners with accounts and other (the litlle generic ones which you do not need such detail don't create the,.

I hope it helps.
